I just thought I would introduce myself. Im Scot and I live in Holiday Florida. 3 weeks ago I ordered a new A Homer Hilsen complete bike from Rivendell. They told me it would take 8 weeks for them to get the frame and another 2 weeks for them to build it up. I am very excited to get and ride my bike. I have been drooling over the Rivbike website for a few years now and I came into the opportunity to get one and took it. It was a little bit of a gamble as I have not actually seen one in person. I am going solely on research and reputation. I have seen and ridden a Grant designed Bridgestone and I am fully confident in his work and Keven was very helpfull in my parts selection and sizing.
I am also a member of the Surly Owners Group and i own and ride a Surly Long Haul Trucker. I have put allot of miles on my Surly and have also lost over 70 pounds riding it so My Riv is a bit of a reward for reaching a short term fitness goal and will hopefully keep me motivated to reach my long term goals of further weight loss and fitness as well as replacing my cars whenever possible. I have already gotten some good info from your group here and have some more reading to do. If there are any other Tampa Bay area Rivendell owners on here please say hi. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
